2019 Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0L Petrol · LM69 EAY

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-30 recorded wear on the nearside front tyre (close to legal limit) and a chip in the nearside front windscreen that did not impair the driver’s view. The test was passed, but these issues highlight ongoing concerns with tyre condition and minor body damage. A prior MOT on 2026-04-29, just one day earlier, resulted in a fail due to multiple defects, including a damaged track rod end dust cover (2.1.3 (g) (ii)), sharp edges on the offside rear body component , and a damaged windscreen chip . These repeated issues suggest potential neglect or recurring mechanical wear. The track rod end dust cover issue appears to be a recurring defect, having failed in both 2025-04-30 and 2026-04-29. This component is critical for protecting the ball joint from dirt and moisture, and its deterioration could lead to accelerated wear or failure if unresolved. The tyre wear and windscreen damage also reoccurred across consecutive MOTs, indicating possible maintenance oversights. While the 2026-04-30 test passed, the proximity of the fail and pass suggests the vehicle may have been repaired or re-inspected shortly after the initial failure. The mileage of 70,895 miles for a 7-year-old vehicle is typical , averaging ~10,128 miles annually. This does not strongly indicate excessive wear or under-use, though lower mileage could imply periods of inactivity, which might contribute to issues like corrosion or component stiffness.
